Quantinuum and Oracle on Tuesday announced a multi-year partnership aimed at bringing quantum computing capabilities to Oracle's cloud platform, as technology firms race to commercialize the nascent technology.

Financial terms of the partnership and a deployment date were not ‌disclosed.

Here are ⁠some ⁠details:

Under the deal, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers will gain access to Quantinuum's Helios quantum computer through OCI's quantum service, allowing them to combine quantum computing with Oracle's graphics-processing and high-performance computing services.

Running on-site within OCI, ​Helios is expected to integrate ⁠with existing ‌OCI services under the same governance ​customers already ​use.

Helios, commercially launched in November, will ⁠be deployed in a U.S.-based Oracle AI ​data center.

"Together, Quantinuum and Oracle plan to explore how hybrid quantum-AI infrastructure could address some of the most computationally intensive challenges facing enterprises and broaden access for universities and research institutions advancing scientific discovery and education," the companies said ‌in a statement.

"We believe the next phase of enterprise computing will be shaped by ​bringing quantum, ​AI and ⁠high-performance computing together," Quantinuum CEO Rajeeb Hazra said, adding that the partnership would "create a unique deeply integrated environment for ​hybrid workloads."

Oracle plans to preview its quantum service in coming months, combining Quantinuum's development stack with open-source hybrid-programming frameworks to help developers build and test quantum-classical applications.
